The story of Wilhelmina Yazzie and her son's effort to seek an
adequate education in New Mexico schools revealed an educational
system with poor policy implementation, inadequate funding, and
piecemeal educational reform. The 2018 decision in the
Yazzie/Martinez lawsuit proved what has always been known: the
educational needs of Native American students were not being met.
In this superb collection of essays, the contributors cover the
background and significance of the lawsuit and its impact on racial
and social politics. The Yazzie Case provides essential reading for
educators, policy analysts, attorneys, professors, and students to
understand the historically entrenched racism and colonial barriers
impacting all Native American students in New Mexico's public
schools. It constructs a new vision and calls for transformational
change to resolve the systemic challenges plaguing Native American
students in New Mexico's public education system. Contributors
